Front garden wall/driveway -reduce length by 1.0 metre

  • Location: Cheadle
  • Hired: brickworker
  • Trade: Bricklaying
Job Description

I'm looking to reduce the length of my front garden wall so that I can create more room to get my car on the drive (increasing space between brick posts across driveway).

Looking to reduce the length by approx 1.0 metres. Height of wall is 80cm and height of brick posts 146cm.

Will involve dismantling one brick post, removing 1.0 metres of wall and then building brick post back up to 146cm.

Will additionally need to put a paving stone down where the wall has been removed as there is approx 0.5 metre of soil behind existing wall to be removed . Rest of front garden is paved so will only need 1 paving stone over small soil border behind wall.

Keen to understand how long this may take, approx cost and how quickly someone can start.

Many thanks
